The most important publisher, AKA "CRC Jianian". TODO meaning of Jianian?

<Chinese government> owned unfortunately.

Their website takes forever to load: http://www.china-crc.com.cn/[], and features mostly Communist shit, and I can't find the decent traditional music listed there.

One thing to try is an <Amazon> advanced search by label "China Record Co": https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-music&rh=p_33%3AChina+Record+Co&s=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.x=42&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.y=4&unfiltered=1&ref=sr_adv_m_digital

Why was this so rarely used as of 2020s compared to <ISBN>s? It would have been perfect for helping find obscure records from <Chinese traditional music> and <Indian classical music>!

But instead we have <Discogs>, which is not too bad.

The <IMDb> of <music>! They actually have a reputation system apparently. And sneaked in a vinyl marketplace as well.

The website name sounds like play on words: disc + hog, with hog in the sense "memory-hog", i.e. something that consumes all your computer's memory.
